FIRE AND ICE

Tissue culture sport of Hosta Patriot developed at Shady Oaks Nursery in the mid 1990's. Registered by H. Hansen/Shady Oaks Nursery in 1999. Heart -shaped leaves have wide, pure white centres and dark green margns. Leaves 6 inches long by 4 inches wide. Lavender flowers in late July on 30 inch scapes. The top 6 inches of the scapes are pinkish-purple and the lower part of the scapes are creamy white. This is a very striking hosta to grow if you can maintain a good amount of moisture for it from spring to fall, and don't crowd it out with other hostas.
